I'm graduated from UC Berkeley studying Political Economy with a minor in Environmental Design and Urbanism. My studies focus on development with an interest in Latin America and economic development. I am an avid photographer, whether it be instagram or with my DSLR, I am always trying to capture my travels. I enjoy meeting new people, learning about different cultures, traveling, outdoor activities, and I love dogs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing and really enjoyed my first experience. I realized CSing is a fun way to meet new people from around the world. I definitely intend to CS more when I travel in order to meet new people in cities where I don't know anyone. I'm looking forward to forging new connections with new people and hope to keep in touch afterwards!

Interests

Dogs, hiking, kayaking, going to the beach, photography, video games, Netflix, and wandering large cities. My academic interests surround economics and international development. My conversations with people vary with people regarding my interests and I love learning about new topics and outdoor activities!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once hiked all the way to the Cristo Redentor, which is easily one of my favorite hikes, with absolutely no hiking gear and just a pair of Nikes and whatever I wore that day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Practice your Spanish with me!
Please teach me some phrases in a language I don't know! Other than that I can teach you some cool photography tricks on my camera or smart phone to up your instagram game. Otherwise, show me your city! I want to see the side tourists don't see in order to better experience and integrate myself in the culture.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share engaging conversations with my hosts on various topics, whether they be serious ones or trivial. I can definitely join you on crazy outdoor activities and will always be available to grab a bite of food. I'd like to see if there's food than can compete with Mexican food :)
